i finished it today too, and i thought it was absolutely brilliant. although i didnt want dumbledore to die, i wasnt that upset, but if ginny was killed i wouldve almost certainly cried lol, she grew on me. the whole harry potter thing is just amazing, and when the last book comes out, i might just go out at midnight to get a copy, just to be part of the whole craze. itll be interesting where it goes from here now hes left hogwarts, but im excited all the same. better then lotr by an absolute mile, that book sucked so much

You guys have absolutely no taste when it comes to literature. The book was...well it was good, but it was sort of lacklustre. Writing Malfoy out of the story wasn't a particularly great idea, it meant a lot of the humour went out of it, which I suppose made sense since it's meant to be a more sombre book anyway. But, I just didn't think it was as good as the last two books, it was as if, I dno, Rowling was trying to live up to her own hype, some of it was just pretentious. Good book anyway, but not a scratch on LOTR you illiterate mongrels - Rowling's world pales in comparison to the detail that Tolkien managed to create(though he did go into TOO much detail sometimes I have to admit).

tolkien was a pathetic loser who spent far too much time writing, he probably ended up thinking that middle earth was real. i mean, wot the hell was the point in that "history of middle earth" shit at the end of rotk? i thought all three books were unbelievable boring and not once during them did i become excited.

on the other hand, all the hp books had me hooked from the first page, probably cos rowling didnt take her creation too seriously, with her main concern being to entertain her readers

Oh you naive little cretin you. 'entertain readers', of course, good old joanne wasn't in it for the money at ALLLL. Anyway, I concur with you on the Tolkien point, he WAS a sad old loser - he even created an entire language of Elvish. That's one of the reasons his books are so good, the complete and utter immersion into Middle Earth - it's entirely believable. You're reading about dwarves, elves and orcs, yet it seems real, it's easy to empathise with the characters, absolutely fantastic book. I don't have any great love for the hobbit though.
By the way, one thing I thought about the new HP book - it was far more grown up, I know she has to take into account that some people who read the book when they were young have grown up, but she seemed to sort of miss her target audience this time.It was a bit sinister for a kid's book, and a bit longwinded in the overextravagant word department. It was still a great book by the way, just didn't think it managed to reach expectations. Snape is such a class character.

Snapes a brilliant character, hes always been one of my favourites, probably cos he was a good guy and a complete arsehole at the same time lol

i hope to god theres a massive twist in the last book, and i hope snape becomes a hero in the end. i could also see malfoy coming to the good side, he obviously didnt want to kill dumbledore

It actually wouldn't surprise me if that happens. I actually like Lupin, and the Weasley twins are always good for a laugh. There are a lot of great characters, but I think technically, the best one is Snape. I'm not entirely sure on a favourite, Moody was good. If anyone says Hagrid I'll shoot them for being a soppy twat!
